The Love Story You Won't Forget




Jamie Mills

 The Notebook
By Nicholas Sparks

This adventure starts with a poor mill boy, Noah, who falls in love with a rich girl, Allie. However, Allie’s parents do not approve of their relationship. When Noah gets the news that he will soon need to leave for the war at the end of the summer, he realizes that he must make the most out of every moment with Allie. As time passes by, Allie feels that life must go on; she gets involved with another man named James who later proposes to her. Noah’s time in the service ends soon but before he gets back Lon and Allie are arranged to get married. Later, Allie sees a newspaper and notices that Noah bought and restored a house. Allie now knows where to find Noah, and she begins to feel confused about her emotions towards him. She wonders, is she in love with the man who first captured her heart or with her fiance? Who will she end up with? Allie's answer will come to her when she “follows her heart”(139).

This is a story full of hope, love and compassion. Allie later on is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. She can no longer recall most of her memories and the people she has met throughout her life which is another aspect that could draw readers in. Her husband just says that “ [he] misses her”(214). This was definitely one of the reasons why read the novel because I too have been affected by the disease through a family member. I feel as though everyone has been touched by this disease whether it was a family member or a friend and for that reason, many people will be able to relate to the novel. In addition, this book is compelling because it entailed a romance story, and I believe that every person wishes that kind of romance existed in their life. In my opinion, I would rate this book a ten out of ten because I never wanted to stop reading it. I wanted to keep reading to see what I would discover and if “perhaps they will end up together again”(208).

I would recommend this book to females who enjoy romance novels. I would also consider this a “chick flick” because it definitely puts the reader in touch with their emotional side which I feel as though woman can find pleasure in while males may find boring. Also, if you are not the type of person that likes to read, the movie is an excellent choice as well. I have read and watched both the novel and the movie and believe that the producer did a great job with the attention to detail and making sure all of the major events were included from the book.

Stevenson Youyoute Thunderhead Neal Shusterman *Disclaimer I have not fully finished the book, but I have read the book to page 250.*  In a world where disease, famine, and poverty is no longer an issue, thinking for yourself is entirely optional, and everything you do is being watched by an Authority Interference system called The Thunderhead; the only way to live in this society is to expect death at every corner.  Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman, is a sci-fiction that is a sequel to Scythe . A year has passed. Citra and Rowan are now on opposite sides of the Scythdom; Citra’s approach towards gleaning is different from the sides of the new order who kill because they find pleasure in it.
